Great point! Most people gloss over the fact that lying, in general is not the commandment, which actually is a prohibition against committing perjury. This explains why both are explicitly mentioned separately in Proverbs. Proverbs 6:16-19 Contemporary English Version 16 There are six or seven...

Agreed. And the Satanic media is the puppet for all of Satan's machinations, including the attempt to normalize the abnormal, even the abomination of homosexuality.

There you go again, sadly dehumanizing people who have a temporary disability.

Again, you are denying test tube babies exist.

Will never be? You are self-deceived. Babies do develop a brain and the capacity to choose. They just need time. This is different than your desperate claim that they are dehumanized and are incapable of ever having a brain. You are just playing word games. If we call the baby a fertilised egg...

This is your invented standard to rationalize sacrificing children to Baal.

OK. So, your acceptance criteria is ONLY if the Constitution makes reference to God are we a Christian nation. Great! Cause guess what? The Constitution references God, not just once but TWICE. Under Signatory: Done in Convention by the Unanimous Consent of the States present the Seventeenth...

I'm not sure where you are going with this line of reasoning. Most things in the real world have pros and cons. People die in car accidents. Should we abolish cars? If you want to avoid risk, guess what? That's an impossibility because life is risk.

Because doctors are fallible. I had to double check the title of this thread. Science is merely an application of epistemology, that branch of philosophy dealing with knowledge. A basic tool of epistemology is logic, the art of the non-contradictory identification of truth. Whether we are...

You got it! ;)

Thanks for your straight forward answer. Doesn't that contradict above? I agree those who are incapable of making reason based decision, including those in a coma, do not have rights by definition. It seems to me you are skipping over a fundamental truth. The "developing organism" IS a living...

I have pointed out to my wife the limits of women wanting a truly honest relationship. When a wife asks her husband if the shirt or dress makes her look fat and he says "No, it's your fat that makes you look fat," she's not going to be all happy about such honesty. :spring:

Maybe this is the White Lie @MatthewG was talking about. My former pastor (she retired) wrote a book called Grace and Truth and delved into this notion we ought to be bound by Grace 1st, along with truth, which means avoiding unnecessarily hurtful truth. Your post in the OP goes beyond that...

Bisexual is as bisexual does. One is not still living after they die. It is action that dictates not "orientation."

Guess again. Your grasp of what racism is is FUBAR.

The question is what is your acceptance criteria? I appeal to you as a reasonable and educated person. As the Bible says @ Isaiah 1:18, "Let us reason together." Recently, I've been studying the controversial historical figure, General Douglas MacArthur. In answering the question should he have...

You contradict yourself from one paragraph to another. Either you gave me your reasons OR there is no acceptance criteria for you to give.

A very important topic. Discretion. The Right to Privacy and the social expectation to reveal what one is not obligated to reveal. Simply put, "remaining silent" is not socially acceptable. Then what? Two posts inspired this thread. I'd like to know your thoughts? Was it wrong, would God have...

The propagandists don't mention this phenomena. My friend was a bisexual for decades but gave it up via an act of will. He concluded it was not in his best interest.

No acceptance criteria! Gotcha. Just denial - plain and simple for unstated reasons.
